Kitchens demonstrate the importance of giving as much attention to function as we usually do to style. Apart from adding to a home’s aesthetic appeal, a good kitchen is also built strategically and laid out to help simplify movement within the space.
One of the things commonly overlooked in this area, and one that affects overall organization at home, is the inadequacy of storage. If you are considering doing a kitchen remodeling project, think about how the right amount of storage can keep kitchen zones organized. Nuss Construction discusses more.
The Washing/Sink Zone
This zone is ideally situated between the range and storage zones. Apart from the sink itself, this area needs enough space to store all types of kitchenware, glassware, silverware and flatware. What you want to achieve is to create some ease for anyone washing the dishes to store everything away afterward.
The Cooking/Range Zone
This zone includes, as the name suggests, your cooking range, ovens and a food preparation counter. Kitchen cabinets in this zone are useful for keeping all cookware easily accessible. The same area can also hold commonly used ingredients during food preparation, such as spices, sauces and so on. Serving dishes should likewise be kept on hand here.
The Storage/Refrigerator Zone
This zone bears the word “storage” almost as if to indicate that that is precisely what this area is all about. The main feature of this zone, the refrigerator, is in itself a storage device. Not everything needs or can be kept in your fridge, though. You should also have enough space to for storing dry food and ingredients not commonly used during the actual cooking process.
